The history of Monsummano Terme was, by the will of fate, associated with the three Giuseppe. And if two of them were only famous visitors, then thanks to the first Giuseppe, the healing cave of Giusti was born. And everything happened so: located to the north-west of Florence, in the valley of the river Nievole, the ancient town of Monsummano until 1849 was unremarkable. While the illustrious Tuscan poet-satirist Giuseppe Giusti in the grounds of his estate did not discover the amazingly beautiful 300-meter-long cave
The bizarre view of stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the underground lake, over which hot steam swarmed, inhabited this fabulous underground city. The workers, who went to investigate the wonderful grotto, all said as one, that after spending a short time in this place, they were cured of pains in the joints and coughing. The Giusti family was quick to convince themselves of the magical properties of the cave and soon organized "healing rooms" for friends in the grotto. Among them were two more famous Giuseppe: Verdi and Garibaldi
